And i hate you

by ElegantlyWasted   Jul 20, 2005


You swore her soul to secrecy,
You condemned her heart to cry,
You took pity on her trodden heart,
Yet let onlookers laugh and sigh.

... And i loathe you,

You burnt any memory she created,
Yet took pictures of her past,
You swore you loved that child,
But you killed her just as fast.

... And i despise you,

You ignited the envy within her,
And broke the faith she had,
You said the world would hate her,
But with you she'd have a "dad".

... And i resent you.

You told her she wasn't hurting,
And smirked at the bruises you made,
You told the world you loved her,
Yet applauded the use of a blade.

... And i spit upon you.

You provided a cold hand to hold,
And a home to chill her heart,
You taught her to write out feelings,
But only to read the depressing parts.

... And i abhor you.

You took away her innocence,
You manipulated and teased,
You made her try her hardest,
Yet you were never pleased.

... And i revolt you.

You convicted her for living,
And sentenced her to death,
You tied the knot and dropped her,
You robbed her of her breath.

... And i hate you,
For killing everything i could have been.

    aww hun! this is sad! but you can still can come out of this a better person, even though you have been through all of this you can still become the person you want to be, trust me. it may be hard and will take some time but if you keep it in the past and move on to greater things you will find happiness. you are a wonderful person and certainly didn't deserve a father like that but don't ever let that stop you from living a good life that you deserve! you deserve a wonderful life.
